Sofia, Bulgaria — 21 April 2026 — Looming Tech, the EU-headquartered technology consultancy and part of the Eastvantage Group, today announced that it has been admitted as an implementation partner in the OVHcloud Partner Programme. The partnership formalises Looming Tech’s role in helping European organisations design, migrate to, and operate workloads on OVHcloud’s sovereign European cloud infrastructure.

The announcement comes at a pivotal moment for European digital sovereignty. Earlier this month, OVHcloud — together with DEEP by POST Luxembourg and Clever Cloud — was selected by the European Commission under a framework valued at up to €180 million over six years to deliver sovereign cloud services to EU institutions. In March, OVHcloud was also confirmed as a sovereign cloud provider for the European Central Bank’s digital euro project. Against that backdrop, demand for qualified implementation partners who can help enterprises and public-sector bodies translate sovereignty requirements into running systems has grown sharply.

Meeting European demand for hyperscaler alternatives

European organisations are increasingly re-evaluating their reliance on US hyperscalers. The US CLOUD Act (read more here The CLOUD Act Problem), GDPR enforcement trends, and broader geopolitical volatility have pushed boards and procurement teams to assess where their data actually lives, which jurisdiction governs it, and what happens if cross-border access requests arrive on the operator’s desk. For many, the answer is a structured migration — or at minimum a credible multi-cloud posture — onto European-operated infrastructure.

That is the gap Looming Tech is positioning itself to close. With more than 50 engineers across its Bulgarian headquarters and UK office, the company already runs delivery programmes in cloud migration, platform engineering, application modernisation, and AI integration. The OVHcloud partnership adds a certified implementation track on one of Europe’s most established sovereign cloud platforms.

“European organisations no longer want sovereignty as a marketing line on a slide — they want it as a verifiable property of the stack they are running on,” said Stefan Minchev, CTO of Looming Tech. “OVHcloud gives us a European-operated, European-governed platform with the scale and service breadth our clients need. Our job as an implementation partner is to make the migration path practical: assess the estate honestly, choose the right workloads to move first, rebuild what needs rebuilding, and leave the client with an operating model they can run for years.”

What the partnership covers

As an OVHcloud implementation partner, Looming Tech will offer end-to-end services across the migration lifecycle, including:

  • Sovereignty and risk assessments — mapping workloads, data flows, and contractual exposure against CLOUD Act, GDPR, NIS2, and sector-specific regimes.
  • Migration architecture and delivery — target-state design on OVHcloud Public Cloud, Bare Metal, and Hosted Private Cloud, plus landing zones and FinOps guardrails.
  • Platform and application engineering — containerisation, Kubernetes on OVHcloud, managed databases, and re-platforming of legacy estates.
  • Data and AI workloads — building RAG pipelines, analytics stacks, and LLM integrations on sovereign infrastructure where data residency and auditability are non-negotiable.
  • Managed operations — ongoing run, observability, and optimisation for clients that want a single accountable partner post-migration.
